Belle And Sebastian - The Model Chords

Capo 2

C
I will confess to you
              G                       F
because you made me think about the times
                      C                      Am
you turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over
                       D                 G
the vision was a masterpiece of comic timing
         F                 C
but you wouldn't laugh at all
        Dm            Em                 Am
and I wonder what the boy was thinking
                    D                            G
the picture was an old collage of something classical
           F             C
the model with a tragic air
            Dm                 Em           F(one strum)
because without a doubt he'd given up the fight
              G(one strum)     C
the ghost of somebody at his side

          C
I will confess to you
            G                       F
Because I didn't think about the message
                      C                  Am
As I walked down the alleyway, it was a Sunday
                D                        G
All my friends deserted me because you painted me
         F             C
As the fraud I really was

            Dm                  Em                   Am
And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad
                D                      G
Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold
           F                C
When she knew she had been bad
          Dm                    Em      F(one strum)
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress
             G(one stum)            C
It was the best sex that she ever had

               C
I'll send a dress to you
              G                   F
Because it's needing badly taken in
              C                          Am
I was so embarrassed that I missed your party
                D                G
It was me that paid for it eventually
             F               C
Because you know how much I wanted

               Dm                Em               Am     
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press
                      D                      G
The dream of all the bowlie kids that hang around here
          F                C
I'm no different from the rest
              Dm               Em
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay
          F                     G                     C
With the girl next door who's famous for showing her chest

               C
You're not impressed by me
             G                   F
But it's a funny way for you to tell me
                 C
A whisper in a choir stall
              Am              D           G
The man was talking about you simultaneously
                    F              C
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter

            Dm                 Em         Am
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
                    D                    G
I know you were historical from all the books I've read
    F                     C
I thought you could be bluffing
                Dm                    Em
And with this chance I've missed, I feel remiss
      F                 G                  C
It's days and months before I'll see you again
